Instructions: Preheat the oven to 180 C, 350 F, Gas Mark 4.

Trim each end of the marrows, place on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and bake for 45-50 minutes.

Slice the top off each marrow, lengthways, removing only 5mm ( 1/4 inch).

Scoop out another 5mm ( 1/4 inch) of the flesh, and spread each marrow with the cream cheese.

Mix the breadcrumbs and Cheddar cheese, spinkle on top of the cream cheese and return to the oven for 10-15 minutes until the cheese and breadcrumbs go golden and crispy.

NOTES : An attractive, unusual and tasty way to serve a traditional vegetable.
